first thing I noticed is their us no moment forum which confused me. so now I think I'm posting in the wrong place.anyways I don't know anything about rooting. my goals are to use swipe, update the flash player, update my os. how would I go about doing that, and what are some of the cool things I could do with a rooted phone?
Go here for the Moment forums.

So Ive rooted my Atrix4g, and I want to unlock my bootloader.
I understand the plus of doing this, and realize I cant turn back once this is done.
So I know this has been beat to death but...
Will I regret doing this?
Assuming I want a ICS Rom I have notice that they all have some slight bugs reported. Do I wait for the official Rom to be deployed or do you think all the bugs will be worked out by the time it is released.
Also when it is released will it be able to be flashed.
All these Questions are for a noob to the Atrix.
Any and all discussions will help.
Please don't try to convice me just some input of your experience.
ie* your favorite rom, things you wish was better... why you unlocked the bootloader. ect...
first of all- I DO NOT OWN AN ATRIX, BUT I HAVE EXPERIENCE ON MY EVO.
i say unlock for the best experience. some of the main worries can be easily fixed.
worried about warranty? you can always put it back to stock
worried about problems? rarely if you find the right guide and follow it will you have any trouble, and there are plenty of helpful people and tools to help fix it.
regarding the ICS rom- most roms at this stage for phones that have ICS ports are for the most part stable. just go through the Atrix development forum and find a few to try, and if you need to backup your data i recommend mybackup root.
hope this helps, I wanted to make sure you have some sort of reply.
You can do sone flashing i guess. use uncle google . or use thr search button for inquiries
actually, probably the best thing to do would be to post this in the Atrix Q&A forum, where youll get the best answers.
Hi guys ! This is my 4th Galaxy and every time first thing I've done before ROOT -->CWM--->FULL Back up within CWM--> Unlock with CODE--> Install CM --> Enjoy
That was my formula always and with it I'd be able to save Stock/Rooted fresh OS in case something needs to be done and because I did it with CWM it's really easy to restore. But this time I think I'll hold my horses. Too much chatter about things that was not a problem before ...some OTA updates, lock bootloader, etc. Can anyone create post that cannot be replied to with Q/A that matters and update it as more info become available. I mean questions like should I OTA update (if one available), is good root method available or not, is CWM available etc. Just a few things that EVERYONE in here needs to know. Because as of right now everything is a mess. Bootloader hacked ..but it's not REALLY hacked ...no CWM on official page yet ...some sim unlock method available (non code) etc. I got this nice device and REALLY want to do above formula and start enjoying my i337 but because so many questions and no proper answers I can't. So I guess what I am saying Moderator create Office Q and A that CANNOT be replied to and just update with latest info that checked and working properly. Because too much noise right now. I hope I am not alone asking for some clarity.

Or you could take a little of your precious time to read what is already posted...but I understand how you have better things to do.
There is no real "clarity" of it. It is what it is for now. There are plenty of discussion and info about everything here.
Let's keep all of it out of this thread for now.
Hello EVERYONE,
I rooted my device yesterday and decided to install custom ROM: CM10 (CynogenMod). Honestly I don't like it. I just want to go back to stock EVERYTHING, touchwiz. I don't care so much about UNrooting as to going back to touchwiz is my main concern. I'm pretty sure I can UNroot it since there is SO MANY friggin' videos on YouTube on how to do it and NONE on how to flash it back to stock BEFORE UNrooting. Though I'm confident that I'd be able to UNroot it I was just wondering if it was ok to do just that WHILE Cynogen is my current ROM because I don't care if it deletes everything while doing that, I just want to go back to stock. ALL the vids on YouTube are either of Verizon models, UK or ALREADY on stock ROM and only showing UNrooting. So as you can see guys I'm pretty nervous and would appreciate ANY kind of help. And if it helps I backedup on Titanium before flashing to CM and my S3model is the Sprint version, SPH_L710. THANKS GUYS.
just install a launcher
Why don't you try a different ROM or even a launcher. And remember, if you haven't bricked a phone, you just haven't flashed enough LOL

I'm so tired of people rooting and flashing stuff WITHOUT making sure that they can restock. This leads to a lot of talking about the same things over and over again. Also if you look on xda you will find some guides on how to restock.
I want to play a game. I'll give you the main steps on how to solve this but you will have to SEARCH before POSTING.
1. www.sammobile.com
2. download rom in zip file
3. extract the .TAR file which is to be found inside the zip(it's only one file, you can't possibly miss it)
4. connected phone while in download mode
5. ODIN, PDA, insert .TAR
6. start and done.
(to make it easier the steps are in the right order)
Before you do anything, SEARCH and make sure you understand the procedure. When you think you understood give me a reply and tell me what you have to do to make it work so you won't screw things up even worse.
Consider forgiving me for talking like a jerk, I'm not like this usually, but this is at least the 15th time I see someone asking how to restock.
Good luck.
And please, members of the xda forum, please, DON'T give him any links and detailed guides on how to do this. the 1st rule of the xda forum is SEARCH BEFORE POSTING (forum rules) so he has to learn it himself.
-not to mention the whole thread is posted in the wrong section. it should've been in the s3's forum-

Hey Sewrizer,
What's Up man, dude No worries man your frustration is well understood. Don't apologize, I LITERALLY woke up yesterday and decided to get into this whole rooting thing since my phone is off. Did enough research to get it done by not UNdone. I was too impatient to pay attention to the whole backUp and restore process. But I carefully read your rules to your game, lol, and understand them completely. In fact the whole Sammobile was my first idea but sammobile's registration wasn't working at the time. Working now and made my username etc. Now its just telling to wait for my download, 13min., due to traffic? Anyways I do have Odin. I know how to extract, but to make sure. Am I USB debugging before I power down and go into download mode? You don't have to reply but I REALLY do appreciate you taking the time out to make that list. AND please dude, no worries on the jerk attitude bro. I'm your student man, teach me man its all good. Oh i'm new to forums too so I'm not too sure on where the S3 Q&A is. But again THANKS SEWRIZER! you're great man.
Launcher business

Endeavor! Whats Up man,
Sorry dude I'm new to this whole forum thing so I'm pretty siked that people are actually replying! Pretty cool for me, anyways I'm new to this whole rooting thing too, like I was telling Sewrizer I LITERALLY wokeUp and felt like rooting my S3 sine I'm no longer with Sprint lol. And launchers are common, not everyone is cordinated enough to root, believe it or not lol. But I'll remember that man, your brick a phone quote! THRASHERMAG STYLE!
...
If your phone model isn't listed as an option, don't install that ROM. It will be the end of your phone. If you visit the Skyrocket Q&A forum and the dev forum for, well, any phone, there are loads of tutorials on how to flash safely. Please read them first and follow their instructions, along with the ROM instructions, or brick.
Unless you want to prove how 1337 you are. Then, by all means, install the ROM and prove us wrong.

Yea definitely seems like a better idea to follow the instructions for the specif ROM. Any recommendations on one? not looking for anything fancy just wanna get rid of the stock one and because for some reason my phone is currently on version 2.3.5 and i am not being able to install anything from the marketplace. so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Read the Skyrocket dev forum and decide for yourself. Recommending a ROM would be an insult to all the other devs who've put time, effort and sometimes money into designing their own.
im sorry i am just going nuts now with all the stuff ive been reading and i think i gotta take some steps back to make sure i got everything right.
i have clockworkmod 5. something and from what i was able to read i need the to update to the most resent version. So i found a copy of 6.0.4.5 but i am unsure on how to update it. Tried to put it in my sd and run it by booting into clockwormod recovery and installing the zip. it says it installed successfully but it is still in version 5.
Any help with the would be much appreciated

Seriously, dude, they're at the top of the page in the Skyrocket Q&A forum. I know you're new and I'll avoid verbally thrashing you, but if you don't learn to search (or, at a bare minimum, read the stickies), you're going to hate it here.

There are a lot of people joining xda on daily basis, and there are a lot of repetitive questions being asked which fill up Development threads. Point them here. Feel free to ask or answer questions. Idea of this thread is to get users to help other users with their problems/questions. Please do not spoon feed, but rather point in the direction where that user can find an answer and educate himself
First thing first. I strongly advise you to read THIS thread before posting ANYTHING on XDA.
For ROM issues please do mention in your post about:
ROM name
ROM version and base
kernel version and its settings
any mods applied on top of it
flashing "style" aka dirty or clean
...and be sure you have asked before on the ROM thread unless you have less than 10 posts on XDA
Even if you do get your question answered, please, do come back and read threads in post no2 (coming later as soon as we start getting the guides) to educate yourself. You'll be surprised how much time and frustration it will save you in the future.
ASK ANY QUESTION HERE,adb, drivers, superCID etc...... You will either get an answer or will get pointed in the right direction.
No abuse towards noobs tolerated here! No question is stupid in this thread.
I feel that a little OT is healthy to the success of this type of thread. The people here who help the most will develop a comradery therefore OT is allowed within reason. Common sense will be applied ..
Hi,
First of all happy new year.
I own an Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact LTE (SGP621).
Android lollipop 5.1.1
Build 23.4.A.1.264
Now I like to install LineageOS to it.
I'm absolutely new to this one so I need some help.
What I already managed to do.
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the filesystem with kingroot.
On my Laptop I have fastboot and adb running and I can access the tablet.
Now my problem is that I cannot get the device into recovery mode to wipe the tablet and to install LineageOS.
When I try to flash TWRP via fastboot, all seams to be fine, but I cannot boot the device into recovery mode.
I would appreciate very much if someone could point me into the right direction what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you.
Heya, no expert here but have you held the correct button combo to reboot into recovery mode? Was it volume up and power? Sorry not used z3 in years.
I've come with a new/old user question...
I have a broken z3 (screen smashed and back in pieces with some missing) and a semi broken z3(3/4 of screen works and back is just separated but mostly whole).
I want to use them as cameras to monitor equipment, but need them to switch on when charged. I found a stackoverflow linking here hinting I modify the charge boot script, but it was z3c. https://android.stackexchange.com/q...ower-on-android-when-the-charger-is-connected
I'm unsure what os to install, and which twrp version matches etc, because really I just want a 4k IP camera.
Currently running official OS, ewelink camera app and teamviewer and about to try altering fastboot power on option.
